What is hyaluronic acid beneficial for?
Hyaluronic acid is an essential component of our skin. It is a naturally occurring sugar-like substance in our body that, together with collagen and elastin, provides firmness and volume to the skin.
Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to bind up to 1,000 times its own weight in moisture. This helps keep the skin visibly hydrated, plump, and supple. Over time, natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and a dull complexion. Fortunately, you can slow down or even reverse this process by using products that contain hyaluronic acid. These products can replenish lost hyaluronic acid and give the skin a boost. In addition to hydrating the skin, hyaluronic acid also has anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties, making it a versatile and powerful ingredient for both skin health and anti-aging.
Types of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid can be categorized into two levels: high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMH) and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (LMH). The difference lies in the size of the molecules.
High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (HMH)
This form consists of larger molecules and a greater molecular mass. HMH is often used as a surface filler for the skin because it cannot penetrate deeply. It helps improve the skin’s appearance by filling in wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a smoother look.
Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMH)
This form consists of smaller molecules with a lower molecular mass. LMH has better penetration and absorption capabilities, allowing it to reach deeper layers of the skin. This deeply hydrates the skin and has a firming effect, helping to reduce wrinkles and fine lines from within.
Conclusion
Both forms of hyaluronic acid can have a positive effect on the skin, depending on specific skin needs and goals. The Volumax Serum by Dermaximo contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, providing both deep and surface hydration for a healthy, radiant, and youthful appearance.
